Scheffler had become unglued on the golf course and wondered aloud what the hell was wrong and why this kept happening to him.
He was well inside the stroke-play cutline at the 2017 U.S. Amateur at Riviera Country Club, seemingly in a comfortable position to qualify for the match-play round, and he spit the bit. In his eyes, he choked, and it infuriated him.Scott Scheffler, the father of 26-year-old Scottie, recalled that seminal moment at Riviera six years ago like it was yesterday.
“So, I walked up to him and put my arm around him and I said, ‘Scottie, I’m so proud of you.’ And he got so angry at me. He’s like, ‘What the bleep for? Did you see what I just did?’ ” Scottie Scheffler poses with the trophy and his family after winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational on March 6, 2022.“I was a little scared to put my arm around him. He was angry, but he needed to know that it was just this blip in the road. Not that that was the moment, but I think the security that he knew we loved him and we cared no matter what happened on the golf course was important.
Though the cool, collected and completely unaffected exterior you see when you watch Scottie Scheffler play golf today was not always that way for him, He has always had a gift to remain calm when it stormed, according to his dad.
